Fantastic effort from everyone at the Senior Male Kumite Squad today. Great training session—keep up the hard work! Thanks to Tony and James for leading the session 👊

A fantastic morning with Dara Clifford from DC Fitness Physio, organised by our Women in Sport team!

A huge thank you to Dara for sharing his expertise and leading such an informative and engaging session.

Our female athletes, along with National Coach Mark, took part in force plate testing, which measures how athletes produce and absorb force during movements such as jumps. It provides valuable insights into strength, power, balance, and potential injury risk, helping to guide performance and rehabilitation.

The session was followed by a reformer Pilates class, using the reformer machine to build core strength, improve flexibility, enhance stability, and promote better movement patterns—an excellent complement to athletic training.

Well done to all who took part and thanks again to Dara for a brilliant morning!
